Pest Control At Work - Where to Start

Pests are a source of great distress in every workplace they show up in. Not only are they a danger to property but they may also be a danger to human health. But even without the danger, pests are just annoying to have around.

So, no matter the size or shape of the pest, it is every workers wish to get rid of these pesky things. There are several pests that are common and we shall take a look at each, look at how to prevent

them and how to get rid of them if they make it through your defences.

RodentsRodents (rats and mice being the most common) are capable of causing serious damage in your workplace. Other than the diseases they are known to carry and transmit to humans and other animals, rats and mice will gnaw away at your valuables. Rodents will eat almost anything in the place including clothes and wire insulations, not to mention any food. If you do not have rodents in your workplace, then keeping them out should be your top priority.There are two things you can do to achieve this: store your food properly, and cover any gaps and holes that could give rodents access to your premises.

In case rodents have already gained entry into your place, early detection is key. Signs of a rodent infestation include:

Cockroaches

Due to their resilience and ability to survive with limited resources, cockroaches are hard pests to get rid of. Their ability to breed rapidly could also lead to a full-blown infestation within a few months from a single insect.   

To prevent cockroaches from invading your factory or offices, high levels of hygiene need to be observed. Housekeeping should be done

regularly to deprive these insects of any food. Fixing your leaky taps and plumbing is also necessary to eliminate any water sources.

AntsAnts are not extremely harmful to humans (unless they bite) but their presence can be quite disturbing. Furthermore, due to the great distances they travel as they forage, they might be exposed to diseases which could be spread.

Just like most pests, ants invade your factory or offices in search of food and water. It is, therefore, important to make sure that no food is left exposed and accessible to these pests inside or around your place. Clean up spills, vacuum regularly, cover your
